FOLLY

The biggest folly among follies is to cherish a desire for a prohibited object:

When your reason or conscience, tells you that a thing is unworthy of you, it is folly to waste your mental energy indulging in thoughts about it.

There is no bigger fool than the man who has acquired much learning and preaches the same to others, but who does not control himself.

A fool getting hold of wealth is like a lunatic taking intoxicating liquor, i.e. it was bad enough being mad but liquor is added to make bad worse.

The friendship of fools is perhaps the best, for in this caw separation brings no grief.

Tiru-Valluvar often uses sarcasm for enforcing an idea; it is a distinctive style of his.

A fool's entry into an assembly of wise men is like unwashed feet on a clean bed. One fool ruins the character of a whole assembly.
